A had the docs on Tuesday morning then hospital, by the time a got back they were drooping tae fuck all the lower fans turning yellow. Gave them a good feed with plenty of run off (1st time coco with ghe nutes). Both the livers n blue cheese picked up after bout 20 mins, a put a little extra N in as well and doesnt seem to have got any worse. A shouldnt be so lazy lol

hey mdb i've had a run in with mites once in the past not a bad run in but not a good one either, my vote would be to ditch ya pollen rather than risking spread them if that's what you have it would be easier to get more pollen than battling with them imo and yeah they did create some very small webs at the bottom of my plant they gathered on

oh yeah should have added mate i never won my battle with them, i bug bombed them 3times and sprayed inbetween with organic pesticide (in flower) and only managed to keep there numbers down i didn't manage to get rid of them til i chopped everything down and went in there with a spray bottle full of bleach and even then wasn't 100% i'd got them all, i haven't used my tent since but everything else has been wiped down n sprayed or left to soak in the bath and even now a few months later i'd still give my tent and area it was in another bleach spray just to be sure, they really are a bastard of a pest once you got them you have to keep everything seperate and be very careful not to spread them turning the norm into an even bigger headache

i only had them on 2-3plants out of about 10 mate it seems they are drawn to certain strains over others, they took a real liking to the bluegum i had i didn't really bother with the other 3 strains i had on the go

maybe they had just moved in when you caught them mate, i didn't know i had them til i saw a little web on the bottom of my 1 plant and even then i thought it was prob a just a spider then i noticed a little leaf damage hear and there and then about a week later i could actually see them, it was like they came out of knowhere and didn't make themselves known until they were settled in they were a fucking headache, bug bombing them was making me all paranoid incase any1 saw the smoke and thought i had a fire as i was in a large shed at the time i was setting off 2 bug bombs at a time and it looked like a had small camp fire on the go inside as i turned all the fans off etc

yeah mine was blue cheese maybe they love the blue tint haha.
thinking about it i accidently nuked my female. i sprayed algamic over female only, in water but i never noticed it was off and had changed in colour. in a day or two i lost all the fan leafs they kinda went rusty and hard. i washed it off soon as noticed and managed to save her with a lil love but maybe i fried the bugs along with the fan leafs. yeah soon as killed the males off i disinfected the whole tent light fans etc flooring the lotto. if wasnt the off nutes in spray form then maybe they love the pollen more then the buds.

lol may have been a blessing in disguise mate i know the mites i had loved the 2 blue plants i had white russian on the go and the livers and physcosis and they were all pretty much left alone, sounds like you've done evrything right so far mate so fingers crossed for ya you won't have any more probs with them. there's a good chance you nuked them along with the leaves, seems a little odd though getting them in ya pollen jar but i wouldn't risk it either way i thought they'd be easy to get rid of once they were identified but were they fuck i see why the yanks refer to them as the borg now they're like mini terminators lol

Dammit, got 2 deadlines this evening PLUS flatmate arrives tonight PLUS gotta pick up brat from nursery at 5 (so gotta be in Earth Mother mode) - and what do I do? Roll a nice moderate little joint to test-smoke some new weed. The good and bad news is that it's good shit :D

ffs just went up to water my plants and saw 2 very thin looking cobweb lines running down from my light to me plants, just praying the borg ain't back i cleaned and bleached everything before putting it up!!!! was on talking about mites earlier aswell, i'm just hoping there's a small spider up there somewhere as it did look like the start of normal cobweb with the 2lines very close together, i've done a full inspection but can't find nothing..... and now the wait begins to find out for certain
